Ahead of the streaming debut of Leo on November 21, Netflix has officially set free advance screenings of its latest animated comedy, starring Adam Sandler as a long-time class pet lizard looking to spend the last year of his life helping children with their problems.
Leo will be screened at 150 locations across the U.S. for a one-weekend event on November 11 and 12. Fans can now reserve up to 5 free tickets on LeoSneakPeek.com, where the full list of theaters and showtimes can be seen.
What is Leo about?
“Set in the last year of elementary school – as seen through the eyes of a class pet,” reads the synopsis. “Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle. When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher. It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever…”
The coming-of-age animated musical comedy is directed by Robert Marianetti, Robert Smigel, and David Wachtenheim from a script co-written by Smigel, Sandler, and Paul Sado. In addition to Sandler, the film will also feature the voices of Bill Burr, Cecily Strong, Jason Alexander, Sadie Sandler, Sunny Sandler, Rob Schneider, Jo Koy, Jackie Sandler, Heidi Gardner, Robert Smigel, Nick Swardson, Stephanie Hsu, and Nicholas Turturro.
Leo is executive produced by Barry Bernardi, Allen Covert, and Paul Sado, with Sandler and Mireille Sora. This marks the third time this year that Sandler will be starring in an original Netflix movie following recent appearances in Murder Mystery 2 and You Are So not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
